A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 637

Lucas was dreaming about something utterly soft and mild.

He felt great in every inch of his body as if he had arrived in paradise, delighting his body and so.

Naturally, the sudden shriek beside his ear startled him.

He opened his groggy eyes and saw Cordy from up close, looking utterly unhappy and… blushing?

Lucas, however, did not care that much—being yanked out of his sweet dream left his temper flaring.

"Is this how you treat your savior, Cordy Sachs?!" he growled angrily. "I would have been careful not to wake you if I woke early myself, but you'd actually treat me so harshly! Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

Cordy was actually prepared, expecting grouchiness from him when he woke her.

Biting her lip, she said, "I was worried you'll regret it."

"What would I regret? Wait, I am already regretting warming your bed! I mean, insomnia? You're clearly sleeping like a log, even snoring so loudly I can't sleep at all! And the instant I closed my eyes and started to sleep, you had to wake me! You're really out to get me, aren't you, Cordy Sachs?!"

His molars were clenching even as he snarled her name, as if he could bite her right then.

Cordy rolled her eyes, and merely gestured with her head without saying a word.

Lucas was left bristling.

"You molested me, Cordy?!"

He bellowed so loudly as if Cordy was the one who took advantage of him.

Cordy swore her eardrums almost perforated right then. She quietly inhaled deeply before telling him slowly and deliberately, "Don't you have a sense of what you were doing to me?!"

Lucas did a double take but was soon blushing.
